"uncle tom's cabin" was at the time the most popular piece of published anti-slavery propaganda. but it was, by no means, the first or the only story of slavery in america. because the enslaved people had their own stories to tell. and the power of their published accounts relied not on imagination or interpretation, but on the firsthand, lived experience of people who have survived slavery. more than 200 book-length slave narratives were published in the united states and england between 1760 and 1947. one of those books released in 1853 told the story of solomon northman, a man who was born free, and
